I used to pay $22 for a 30-day supply of generic Zyprexa, but of course it made me gain weight and sent my diabetes out of control so I had to stop taking it and go on the more expensive Geodon. I wish I could take it PRN and save a few bucks, but I don't seem to be able to stay off the moon w/o taking an AP all the time. YMMV.

I am very worried about the weight gain. I asked a friend in AA about seroquel and she said that also made her gain weight plus she is on adderall which didn't help. From what my pdoc said Geodon has a stat of a 2lb weight loss. Right now I'm needing to lose weight as I'm also concerned about my blood pressure, possible diabetes etc. On Abilify I had been dieting & walking aprox 30 mi a week for 3 months and lost a grand total of 5lbs
If I gain anymore weight on a new AP I'll probably just take the damn things PRN.
